Blond Back Glance

Acrylic abstract portrait art of a blonde female. The bright flowing colors of pink, purple, blue, orange, yellow, and green comprise the body and the blond straight hair is a nice contrast to the peach tones of her face and the pink pout of her lips. Her violet gaze stares back at some unknown and unseen event.

Amber McNeel Art

If I could say in words what my paintings reveal about my inner feelings, my sequestered emotions finding escape in the dawn of description, I would have no need to paint.

What is my art about? All I can say is that every painting starts with a compulsion to exhale emotions that are foreign, frightening, or frustrating. From there pure unadulterated emotion takes over and fingers and hands spread acrylic across a canvas leaving behind blaring echoes of my desires, my pains, my passions, and my very soul. The bright colors attempt to hide the sorrow and heartaches just as I try to hide behind a smile in real life. Each painting is a page directly out of my personal diary, another tale of lovers lost, anger amplified, or damages long disguised.

My name is Amber McNeel. I am 38, married, mother of two, and have been expressing emotions through paint and canvas for about seven years. I tend to paint in abstract or pop art styles with bright colors being the predominant color scheme even though the bright can't hold back all my dark. My series include a collection of nude portraits called "Emotional Silhouettes", a pop art focused abstract series that includes wpap art and more titled "POPular portraits", and a series of abstract fluid like paintings called "Flowing Chaos".

I also do graphic design and sell those designs across the web at places like redbubble and cafepress, and I sell graphic designs on shirts through amazon under the dallastxart brand name. My works can also be viewed at dallastxart.com as well.
